I miss it terribly. I had one of the originals brought over from Germany in 2006 and refitted in California. I bought it used and used the heck out of it. HOWEVER....no one in the 5 state area around Kansas would work on it. Too old, different from the newer Smarts. I found a guy 70 miles away who would but since my husband can't drive (seizures, trying to get meds to work) I was stuck with a Smart that needed much and no way to really fix it. Also we live on a farm and apparently these adorable, wonderful "city cars" don't care for gravel roads and all the dust that gets into the works. It was a poor choice on my part but I sure did love it for the year and a half I had it. HAVE FUN!! They are great driving in town and really pretty darned good on the highway, I think they are too small to get Whooshed by the trucks. You have a lot of room in your lane
